The Lake Fenton Property Owners Association (LFPOA) has participated in the goose nest destruction programs offered by the wildlife division of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and US Agriculture Department for over 10 years. Per the DNR biologist, Julie Oaks, Lake Fenton has an excess of waterfowl due to the Lake being fully developed, which reduces natural predation.

The Agriculture Department is control of all migrating birds.

The Fenton Township Planning Commission is drafting a proposed ordinance to regulate Short Term Rentals (STRs) to be sent to the Fenton Township Board for approval.

Before they draft a proposal they are sending a questionnaire to all Fenton Township residents. You may get one soon.

A emailed poll of Lake Fenton residents sent out by the Lake Fenton Property Owners Association this spring concluded that 80% of respondents did not want Short Term Rentals on the lake. As a result, the LFPOA sent the Planning Commission a letter stating that we do not support STRs in single family, residentially zoned areas.

​The LFPOA urges Lake Fenton residents to complete the survey and to tell the township that you do not support Short Term Rentals in single family, residentially zoned areas on the lake.

​Here's why.

​I have had several riparian’s contact me concerned about the low water level of Lake Fenton. The water level has been discussed at every meeting for the last year, but for different reasons. In the summer of 2021, we had a high water level. This was due to beaver dams in the drainage watercourse, which is part of the drainage system for the entire lake. ​
